I've absolutely never left the Fandom but my best friend read the first couple books in middle school and introduced them to her older sister. Her older sister proceeded to talk about the series nonstop and spoil the entire series for her and it completely turned my friend off from PJO.
However, I also talk about it a lot. I try not to but things like the casting for Percy I get excited about??? Anyway, she decided to reread the series now.
Everyone keeps talking about how they’re “returning” to being a PJO fan and I’m like??? I never left?
